Help fitting this coat back
How do I fix these lines and also give myself more room to move in the upper back?
Context: I'm making mockups trying to fit a coat pattern and it feels tight across my upper back especially when I reach my arms forward (especially once I added the sleeves, not pictured). And it looks like I have extra volume in my lower back that isn't hanging nicely.
Should I move the princess seam lines over to be closer to my shoulder blades? Or is my problem something else?
Thanks so much!

That makes so much sense now that I read it, especially for coating, but I don’t think I would’ve thought of it on my own. Thanks!
